Year 2 Lesson 1
Address the issue of children sometimes being embarrassed about holding hands in the traffic environment. Talk with students about the importance of keeping themselves safe. Ask students to suggest ways they can keep safe by using suitable alternatives. To support the message about alternatives to holding a hand, ask students to bring in items from home that their families might buy on a shopping trip (or involve your school canteen or collect objects from around the classroom). Put the items into green/paper bags and ask small groups of students to find a way to carry them across the classroom while still holding onto each other. Suggest safe strategies (or ask students for suggestions) such as holding onto each others clothing, shopping or using backpacks/shopping strollers/prams.

Students complete a whole class PMI to be displayed in classroom. On Dangers around My School (Worksheet 1, p 53), students illustrate or write about any dangers they saw and what they did to keep safe. Students describe to each other their experiences of walking to and from school. Use of technology and Google maps/IWB to highlight local area and what was observed on excursion. Students and families repeat the task at home. Students develop and role-play scenarios involving crossing the road safely; e. g. What can you hear /see? Whats coming along the road? Is the road straight? Is it curved? Can you see the traffic coming? Are there any safe road crossing places nearby? Are you holding a grown-ups hand? Students practise safe road crossing procedure remembering to Stop! Look! Listen! Think! at home and at school using the Stop! Look! Listen! Think! cards (Worksheet 2, p 54) and Stop! Look! Listen! Think! (Take Home Note C, pp 7273). Worksheet 2, Stop! Look! Listen! Think! Cards, p 54 Take Home Note C, Stop! Look! Listen! Think!

Year 2 Lesson 4
Using Road Safety Photographs 1, nos 25, students identify safe places for crossing the road. In small groups, students discuss and list the places where they cross the road on their way to and from school. Students identify any pedestrian facilities they use that are similar to those in the photographs. Ask students to explain what makes a particular place safer or less safe for crossing the road. Note: There are Smart Notebook photos in the Smart Notebook activity folder under Road Safety Photographs 1
Year 1 Lesson 4
Make a set of pedestrian lights/signals as a stimulus for discussion and to incorporate within role-plays. Cut out square shapes from cardboard boxes and infill with red and green cellophane and with the templates of the WALK/DONT WALK signs provided in Pedestrian Signals (Worksheet 4, p 59). Use torches to light up the red, green and flashing red signals. Enlist the assistance of students to light up the three signals for the class and ask students to explain the meaning of the three signals. Small groups of students discuss and role-play scenarios involving the use of a signalised crossing. Role-plays need to include the activation of the traffic signals. Use masking tape or chalk to indicate the kerb. Develop a checklist based on Stop! Look! Listen! Think! and the key message, Hold a grown-ups hand when you cross the road. Look for all

Buckle up every time Read the shared book Jeffrey to the class and emphasise the need to always wear a seatbelt whether you are on a long or short trip, asleep or awake, and whether there are lots of passengers or only a few. Students draw themselves in a car wearing a seatbelt. Note: Jeffrey book is in Smart Notebook format in the Jeffrey Song Book folder .There is also a Jeffrey literacy activity in the worksheet folder.
Lesson 2
Students listen to and learn the song The Footpath Side (Cassette 2, words p 50), and discuss the importance of getting out of the car on the footpath side. Using Road Safety Photographs 1, no 10, students consider questions such as: What are the children doing? Which door are the children using to get out of the car? Who helps you get in and out of a car? What should you do before you get out of a car? Students discuss why the rear passenger door is the safest one to use, label the safety door on the photograph and display it in the classroom. Students collect magazine pictures of cars and label the door they should use to get out of the car. Alternatively, use toy cars to demonstrate where various family members sit and to identify which door they should leave by in different locations.

Display Road Safety Photographs 1, no 12. Students consider the question: Where would the bus be in this picture? Continue with questions that lead the children to the understanding that the bus would be nowhere in sight as the subjects in the photograph have waited until the bus has gone before using a safe place to cross. Note: There are Smart Notebook photos in the Smart Notebook activity folder under Road Safety Photographs 1
Lesson 3
Teacher and students develop their school bus rules. Using Road Safety Photographs 1, nos 1113, students make a note of safe behaviour such as grown-ups meeting students at the bus stop, students holding a grown-ups hand, people waiting for the bus to leave before finding a safe place to cross the road. Following this discussion, the children recall and record the correct procedure for leaving the bus, waiting until the bus has gone, and crossing the road. In groups, role play each stage of the procedure. Send the Wait till the bus has gone, and then use a safe place to cross the road (Take Home Note D, p 74) home.

Students complete the sentence under the picture, I like to wear my seatbelt because Students may paste photocopies of photographs of themselves on this worksheet. Students brainstorm and list the different kinds of journeys they make in cars (e.g. travelling to school, the shops, the beach, to visit family, on holidays). Students discuss the differences between short and long journeys; for example, on a long journey the travellers stop now and then to take a break, they sometimes fall asleep, they can become restless. Students devise strategies to help themselves and their families remember the importance of buckling up in their seatbelts whether they are on a long trip or a short trip, awake or asleep.
Teacher notes
Year 2 Lesson 1
Using five chairs, students arrange two as the front seats of a car and the other three as the back seats. Five students at a time are chosen to be safe passengers. The other students watch and suggest problems and check if they are being safe passengers. Use different scenarios to challenge the students to make safe decisions. For example, if six students wanted to sit in the car which only has five seatbelts, what should they do? Ask the students to imagine they are going on a long trip-what could they do in the car? Ask them to pretend they are being taken to school-where would they place their bags and how will they get out of the car Safety door stickers, RTA Primary Schools Catalogue stock no 1021 Take Home Note E, Get In and Out of the Car on the Footpath Side: A message about keeping child passengers safe, p 75

Students use Safe Places to Ride and Skate (Worksheet 13, p 68), to create a checklist of features of places where it would be safe to ride or skate. Students take the checklist home, and with their families use it to identify two places at or near their home where it would be suitable to ride or skate or scooter. Students bring the completed worksheet to class and report back on one of the places they have identified as safe to ride/skate/scooter. Students draw a picture of their home at the edge of a large sheet of paper. They cut and paste one of the drawings they have made on Safe Places to Ride and Skate (Worksheet 13, p 68), on the far side of the paper. They then fill the space between the two drawings with illustrations of how they could get to the safe riding/skating place using safe behaviour (e.g. walking their wheeled toy to the park, being supervised by an adult, crossing at a marked crossing, wheeling their bicycle, scooter etc across the marked crossing, holding an adults hand).
Year 2 Lesson 2
